In 2011 a generally pro-science Federal budget for 2012 included the end of NSF funding for SRC. "Our last peer review said it would be a terrible mistake if we were closed," said Director Joseph Bisognano. But NSF had to trim its instrument and facilities budget by 15%, so it opted to cut funding for the centre.<ref name="squeeze">{{Cite journal

The University gave SRC $2 million to keep the facility operating until June 2013, while new funding was sought. Bisognano stated the the biggest cutbacks were in education, outreach and support for outide users. By January 2012 the facility had lost around a third of its staff, from retirements and layoffs. <ref name="Ziff">{{cite news |title=Catching Up: Work continues despite funding cut for Synchrotron Radiation Center |first=Deborah |last=Ziff|url=http://host.madison.com/wsj/news/local/ask/catching-up/catching-up-work-continues-despite-funding-cut-for-synchrotron-radiation/article_240a2104-45b6-11e1-b0d7-0019bb2963f4.html |newspaper=Wisconsin State Journal|date=23 January 2012 |accessdate=6 August 2012}}</ref>▼
